EuaErsnme-wnEEn To all whom it may concern:

Be it known'that I, SAMUEL B. FREDERICK,

of 237 Griswold street, in the city of lDetroit, county of Wayne, State of chigan, have invented certain new and useful 1mprovements in Burnishing-Wheels, of which the following is a specification.

- mounted... Y Y

A further object of my invention 1s to- My invention relates to burnishing wheels and bands therefor to be used in burnishing I provide a retaining plate to securely hold position.

said band to the burnishing wheel and which may be sprung over the shaft into operative 0f the accom anying drawings which form a part of t is specification; Figure 1 represents a plan view of my 'burnishing band and retaining plate constructed in accordance with my lnvention, a portion of the retaining plate being cut away to disclose the tongues-of the .burmshlng band.

Fig. 2 represents a section on line22 of,

Fig. 1. Fig. 3 represents a cross. section of to conform to the shape of a burnishing my retaining plate showing the edge turned in to form a Fig. i represents a plan view of a 'burni'shing band constructed in accordance with my invention, the hurnish .ing band being flat and ready to be molded wheel upon which it is to be used. 1

Similar reference characters. indicate similar parts in all figures.

In constructlng my I invention 1 take a band of leather 5 corresponding in length to slightly more than the circumference of the burnishing wheel uponwhich it is to be used, and notch the same on either edge to form tongues 6 as shown in Fig. 4..

cause the tongues 6 to assumea position'at' right angles to the burnishing surface 7 of I the band 5, by bending them at the b in a mold or otherwise. The natureof leather is such that it may be molded-into almost.

1 any desired shape, and hence aft-er notching the band as shown in Fig. 4, T mold it into [Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed February 4L, 191d. Serial N 0. 215,376.

tween the shoulder of the 'burnishing wheel.

- site side of said wheel and Patented May $1, with.

circular form so as to make it conform to the shape of the burnishing wheel. There is a lap-over 8-Where the ends 9 of the band unite. The burnishing band 5 is placed around the wheel 10 overlapping at 8 and uniting at 9, the tongues 6 standing at right angles .to the burnishing surface 7 of the band5.

To secure the band 5 to the burnishing wheel 10 employ retaining plates of sheet fipring-steel '11 which are cut through at 12.

he retaining plates 11 are turned in on the edges forming a sharp rim 13.

I apply my burnishing band to the burnishing wheel' 10, which is mounted on a sleeve 14: adapted to be seton a shaft 15, by

placing the band around the wheel and uniting its ends as shownin .Fig. 1.. One end of the sleeve 14 is provided with a shoulder '16 and the other end is threaded as shown inFig. 2.

I To place the retaining plates 11 in position I drive the burn'ishing wheel away from the shoulder of the sleeve M, spring one of the retainin plates apart at 12, insert the plate over t e sleeve and be- .sleeve and the The burnishing wheel and retaining plate 11 is then driven back against the shoulder of the sleeve 14. The other retaining plate is similarly inserted over the other end of the sleeve on the oppoheld in lace by a washer 17. The threaded end of the sleeve let-is provided with a spanner-nut by which the assembledparts are-drawn together thus forcing the rim of the retaining plates 11' tightly against the tongues oftheband 5 and securely holding it in place and ready for use in burnishing.

vHaving thus fully tion, what ll claim is:

In a burnishingband holder, the combination of a burnish ng' wheel, a leather band having its-edges notched to form tongues,

said tongues turned down at right angles described my invenllilll have signed this
